Bahrain to reopen embassy in Syria
MANAMA, Dec 28, 2018 (BSS/XINHUA) – Bahrain will reopen its embassy in
Syria and resume diplomatic work, the Foreign Affairs Ministry on Friday said
in a statement.
“The ministry stressed Bahrain’s keenness on continuing relations with
Syria, underscoring the importance of consolidating the Arab role so as to
maintain Syrian independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity,” said
the statement.
The ministry also underlined the importance of activating the pan-Arab
role to prevent any regional interference in its internal affairs, which
would “consolidate security and stability in Syria and achieve the Syrian
people’s ambitions for peace, development and progress.”
The move follows a day after the United Arab Emirates reopened its embassy
in Damascus on Thursday.
